In 2021, Bobby McFerrin asked David Worm to bring together singers to play and improvise together. Tammi Brown, Bryan Dyer, David Worm and Destani Wolf have joined Bobby on stage, in the studio, creating songs in the moment, facilitating Circle singing, harmonizing and connecting their intuitive voices weekly for a year as the band MOTION. They continue to perform and create vocal community space every Monday at Freight and Salvage in Berkeley. They have branched out as Attúne and share a collective vision of music and the voice healing ourselves and the world.

World Trust Educational Services and the International Cultural Arts and Healing Sciences Institute (ICAHSI) are thrilled to announce the launch of the highly anticipated Music as Medicine Festival in Oakland, scheduled to take place on April 5th (5-8pm) at EastSide Arts Alliance & April 6th (11-8pm) at Laney College. This event is free and open to the public.

This year’s festival will feature an eclectic lineup of musicians from various genres, including sacred world music, jazz, classical, folk, and even a concert by plants! Attendees can expect soul-stirring performances that uplift spirits and soothe the soul. Additionally, the festival will offer interactive workshops and presentations exploring the therapeutic benefits of music, led by experts in the field of music therapy and holistic wellness.

“We invite everyone to join us for a day of harmony, connection, and healing,” added organizer Amikaeyla Gaston. “Whether you’re a music enthusiast, a wellness seeker, or simply looking for a unique experience, there’s something for everyone at the Music As Medicine Festival.”
This festival is made possible thanks to the generous funding from the City of Oakland.
